Project: Hedgehog pen and pencil holder plan Page 1 of 8
Hedgehog pen and pencil holder
Pen and pencil holder is a common and necessary thing on every pupil’s or office desk. The pen holder helps
to make order on the desk in a very practical way and also enables to have all the pens in one place, easy to
reach and easy to find the one that is needed. Pencil holder is also the desktop decoration and there are
countless ideas for its design. Ordinary glass or a cup can be used as a pencil holder, or the specially designed
pen holder in accordance with a study room decoration, but also a figurine or a toy that is adapted to be
pencil holder.
The plan we are offering fits into this last group – kid toys for practical use. By our plan you can make a pen
holder in the shape of a hedgehog. Its dimensions are 202 x 75 x 50 mm. The hedgehog has 12 holes (10 x 10
mm) on his back, in which the standard size pencils fit. The pencil on the hedgehog’s back will actually
represent its spines.
Draw the shape of each hedgehog part on your workpiece. Cut out the shapes on a scroll saw machine. This
is a simple plan that can be also used by woodworkers who do not have much experience. You just need to
be familiar with the function of your machines and have a little patience and will. With a small modification
of the pen body parts (the hedgehog’s head part), you can make a wider pen holder with more openings for
the pens. If you want to make a wooden hedgehog pen holder for 24 pens, you have to make all the parts
listed in our plan and also the following additional parts: two extra Middle body parts and two extra Pen body
parts. The additional Pen body parts should have the same shape and size of the hedgehog head as the head
of Middle body part from our plan. With these modifications the Hedgehog pen holder will be 90mm wide.
For manufacturing the wooden pen holder by our plan, you can use a variety of wood scrap from your
workshop. The beech wood, birch wood, ash or any type of local wood will be good. Carefully sand all
surfaces and rough edges to avoid splintering. You can leave the wood natural, without any coating, or you
can protect it with mineral oil, teak oil, lacquer or paint. Allow each coat to dry before adding the next one.
Wooden hedgehog pencil holder can be a nice gift for any child that goes to school. This kind of gift is
practical because the child will use it and thus acquire the habit to keep his desk tidy. Furthermore, to the
first grade kids the hedgehog toy will represent a painless transition object between the carefree play and
the discipline and order that must be acquired during the school period.
